  • Ok im done.

    Took a good part of three months to learn my way around in the PC world, but I'm finally done.



    I have about 3k in everything just ff the top of my head.

    x3 Asus 144 hz 1ms 24" screens
    x3 Asus GTX 770 oc GPUs
    Asus Crosshair formula Z MB
    AMD FX8350 CPU @ 4.5 GHZ
    Corsair 4GB x4 RAM 2133 mhz
    Corsair AX 1200w PSU
    Cosmos II XL case
    Antec Kuhler water CPU cooler

    I had it all in a Antec 900 case but once I started using the three screen @ 5970 x 1080p, the cards started shooting to 90 degrees c... I removed the PSU and ran it out outside the box and the temps came down a little. Next, I hooked a box fan up to an open air case to see if there was any way I could keep it cool with air. It stayed under 75 degrees so I knew I had to have turbulence inside the case not just airflow and room. That's the only reason I upgraded to the cosmos case today.



    It was intimidating moving to the cosmos but once I got all the unnecessary LED cables out of the way, it was straight forward.

    Kinda cool it opens like a hood.



    This is how I solved my cooling problem. 14 fan monstrosity... Its loud but not really too bad. There's a 3500rpm 140mm fan .5 inch away from the GPU's coolers on its side and a 120mm 2000 rpm fan backed up by two others right in front of them.





    After testing it, It scored 49th over all in the world in 3dmark extreme settings x3 GPU category beating out many titan SLI setups but a lot of 680's up there too.

    Here is the link: http://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2...on+1.0.5/3+gpu

    I enjoyed learning something new and will not have to pay for repair techs anymore at least!

    And thanks to the board members whos Imput helped me out! Roliath! Tx Redneck!

      yay i got thanked!

      Awesome and super fast pc, easily fastest on the board.

      Now that its running, how are you managing backups? Check out Macrium Reflect (its free) if you have the space, I just make an image of my drives once a month (and kept the image I made from when I first got everything installed).

        Nice System! Are you running a Solid State Hard drive? If not, you might want to consider it if you want good HD Disk data transfer rate. Mine subscore is 7.1 on the Windows Experience Index. Its FAST!!! SATA II runs 5.4.

                  Hopefully you see this, where did you get those monitors locally?
                  Mine came from Amazon and it was a pain in the ass thanks to UPS not leaving at my door and requiring a signature for this. I want to get another one for my laptop, but rather not fuck with shipping.

                      Yeah I don't want to deal with shipping, i'd rather get it locally. FunFordCobra seems to have gotten them same day I suggested them to him.

                        I'm fairly certain I've seen them at Fry's.
